Seriously! We know the final leader in Siege is Optimus Prime, @Jtprime17 can back me up on this. Considering how literally everyone else in those images is taken directly from their new toys, this can’t be a mistake.View attachment 28153690Optimus even has the clips visible on the inner Magnus robot!View attachment 28153689

So here's something that just occurred to me, and there's a solid chance I'm not the first one to think this.

Now its obvious that the Optimus design in this comic is the core robot of the Siege leader class figure as opposed to the voyager figure. And as we all know the Siege leader Optimus is an homage to Cybertron/Galaxy Force Optimus.

So what I'm wondering is if

A. His vehicle mode in the comic will be the whole fire engine of doom from the show, or just the cab, and

B. Maybe, just maybe, he'll power up and use the Super Mode of the associated toy. (Which is the best Optimus Prime design in the franchise in my opinion. Well that and the base mode Optimus)

I really hope one of if not both of these get to happen, because it would be amazing.

Some people I know became so infatuated with it that it actually has caused that I don't want to see the series at all (plus, it's too long for my taste).

About the title, maybe it's more about me disliking naming issues after songs or poems I don't see a direct conection with the issue, than using song titles per se.New Cybertron in Optimus Prime, for example.

Well , we need a Berserk / Goblin Slayer easter egg too. To keep up with the trend.

Every time I see the covers depicting Optimus,I get more excited for the upcoming Siege Leader. It's one of the best Optimus designs I've ever seen,and it's been a while since I've been this hyped for an Optimus. A Galaxy Force homage with an Ultra Magnus trailer? Yes please. I can't wait to see pictures of him from Toy Fair.

I mean it’s a decent design. I was much more into the refined evergreen design in Optimus Prime by Kei Zama. Felt like the perfect Optimus for me. But this one is good enough. I’ll wait for the super mode though.

Just read this.IDW Chairman Loaned Company $28 MillionI believe in the big business language they call this as an "oopsiee-doodle" I mean, seriously, when the chairman has to loan millions to the company?I am gonna be surprised if this comic even comes out before IDW keels over.

Well, what’s worth noting there is that the loans are related to their TV production wing, as opposed to the comics. TV isn’t cheap especially if you’re self-financing like IDW apparently is.
